[RFC] [PATCH 1/3] Recursive mtime for ext3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  Hello,

  the following patch makes more lightweight handling of
EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags possible.

Implement atomic updates of EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags. So far the i_flags access
was guarded mostly by i_mutex but this is quite heavy-weight. We now use
inode->i_lock to protect i_flags reading and updates in ext3. This patch
introduces a bogus warning that jflag and oldflags may be uninitialized -
anyone knows how to cleanly get rid of it?
